<p>So I was starting to do a kind of <a href="https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/Chalk-The-High-level-Design-Plan--AWqnTYZfXC0kz4moamYpPM69Ag-jLJCz6gwy2J7kmbp9Znxr" target="_blank" title="https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/Chalk-The-High-level-Design-Plan--AWqnTYZfXC0kz4moamYpPM69Ag-jLJCz6gwy2J7kmbp9Znxr">"High-level Design Plan" background doc for the Chalk Integration meeting</a>... except that I know I am repeating material from the rustc-guide. (I didn't get <em>super</em> far yet, was mostly "playing around" to try and decide what I want to include)</p>
<p>Maybe it's better to just point folks at the rustc-guide, except that at least <em>some</em> of the plans that <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="131694">@scalexm</span> and I were discussing are ever-so-slightly different than what is there. But then again I feel like it's useful to have a kind of "outline" for what we would discuss in the meeting.</p>
<p>cc <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116883">@tmandry</span>, who was writing high-level docs as I recall.</p>

<p>I'll probably poke at it a bit more later and try to at least get the "outline" more in place</p>

<p>I think it could be healthy to continue iterating on how we talk about this stuff at a high level :)</p>

<p>in particular, knowing what "level" to write the rustc guide at has been somewhat of a challenge in the past, I'd say</p>

<p>and iterating within the existing structure is harder</p>

<p>that said, you could send people to the guide. my main worry would be that the traits chapter is just <em>long</em></p>

<p>but I'm sure that cherry-picking the right sections would alleviate that</p>

<p>also, the content you have in the paper doc looks nice, it would be good to incorporate into the guide somehow</p>
